SLC’s Flentje retiring as AD, staying on as women’s basketball coach

Mike Flentje is retiring as the athletic director at Silver Lake College but will be staying on as the Lakers women’s basketball coach.

Flentje has been the Lakers athletic director since the 2010-11 academic year. This will be his seventh season as the women’s basketball coach.

“I feel good about the direction the programs are going, and we have a great group of coaches,” Flentje said. “It’s been a real pleasure to serve as the athletic director, but it’s just time to retire from that position because of some health reasons and time commitments. I’m looking forward to still coaching the women’s basketball team and being a part of Silver Lake College.”

Flentje will remain as athletic director until a replacement is hired.
